Welcome to the Department of Cell Biology, Microbiology and Molecular Biology at
the University of South Florida! We have completely remodeled our website to reflect
our status as a new department and hope that you find it easier to locate information
and easier to apply to our graduate and undergraduate programs.
Our department is growing rapidly and we have hired a number of new faculty members
in the past few years. This growth provides new opportunities for students in a
number of ways. We can teach more varied courses, especially at the undergraduate
level. You can look in the near future for courses such as Bioinformatics, Molecular
Biology of the Gene, Cell Metabolism and others. Along with these new courses, we
are developing new curricula in both our Biology B.S. Cell and Molecular Concentration
and in our Microbiology B.S. programs.
New faculty members also mean new opportunities for graduate and undergraduate research
in our Department. If you are an undergraduate seeking research experience, you
can look forward to a streamlined system to involve undergraduates in research we
will implement over the next year. For potential graduate students, we have revised
our graduate curriculum for our M.S. degrees in Biology and Microbiology as well
as our Ph.D. degree track in Biology. Over the past two years we have brought in
faculty in the areas of structural biology, cancer biology, aging studies and microbial
pathogenesis. Our faculty continues to do well with research funding from the National
Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy and
Department of Defense and other granting agencies. Look forward to additional opportunities
from the Department of Cell Biology, Microbiology and Molecular Biology.
Best Wishes,
